The Pilgrim Area Collaborative (PAC) is one of thirty educational collaboratives established in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. PAC is composed of the nine member school districts of Carver, Duxbury, Halifax, Kingston, Marshfield, Pembroke, Plymouth, Plympton, and Silver Lake Regional School District. PAC was created to be a regional extension of member school districts. The PAC learning organization provides publicly funded educational programs and services that extend and augment those of the nine member school districts. PAC services are organized into three distinct areas: 1) Self-Contained Classes housed in age-appropriate public schools; 2) Pilgrim Academy, an alternative Middle School/High School; and 3) PACES, which reflects PAC Extended Services. The organizational structure for PAC programs and services is illustrated below.
